Wild Ones is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Texan by Nature, an organization dedicated to advancing conservation that is beneficial for people, prosperity, and natural resources. This collaboration represents a powerful step in strengthening the network of support for native plants across Texas and beyond.
Why Texan By Nature?
Texan by Nature was founded by former First Lady Laura Bush with the vision of uniting business and conservation. The organization brings together diverse partners to implement real, measurable projects that protect Texas’ natural resources while fostering economic growth and community well-being. Their work bridges the gap between conservation and commerce, showing that a thriving environment is critical to a thriving economy.
This mission closely aligns with Wild Ones’ commitment to connecting people and native plants for a healthier planet. By working with Texan By Nature, we can help amplify the importance of native landscaping and conservation at a regional scale, reaching multiple chapters and communities across the state.
The Importance of Native Plants in Texas
From prairies to deserts to coastal plains, Texas is home to one of the most ecologically diverse landscapes in the country. Yet, much of this biodiversity is under threat from habitat loss, invasive species, and development. Native plants play a vital role in sustaining pollinators, improving soil health, conserving water, and supporting the unique ecosystems that make the region special.
By empowering Texans to plant and protect natives, we not only preserve the beauty of the Lone Star State but also contribute to the health of the planet as a whole.
Growing Together
Wild Ones is experiencing exciting growth in Texas, with our recently chartered DFW Chapter and the launch of the new South Central Texas Seedling. Regional partnerships like this one with Texan by Nature are vital to supporting that momentum. Texan By Nature embodies our core value of collaborative action, and we are confident that this partnership will strengthen Wild Ones’ continued growth across the state. Together, we can support multiple chapters, extend our reach into new communities, and amplify our collective voice for native plants. By growing our presence, we are not only planting seeds in local communities but also nurturing a healthier planet for generations to come.
